Here are Ten Things You Need to Know. Kicking off with sports news, Super Bowl Sunday saw millions of viewers tune in to watch the Kansas City Chiefs face the Philadelphia Eagles. And the winner was Rihanna. Just kidding. The winner was well before I say we got a voicemail from a tenor named Abbott. Let's hear his prediction.

Hi, my name is Abbott from Wichita, Kansas. And I think the Eagles are going to win the Super Bowl. Why? Because they're the Eagles.

Thank you for your stellar guess, Abbott. But the winner was in fact the Kansas City Chiefs who beat the Eagles 38 to 35 with a game-winning field goal. Better luck next year. Abbott, also I must say, the halftime show was incredible. And the stage strongly resembled one of my favorite levels from Super Smash Brothers.

Our second story is a heartbreaking one. Last week more than 28,000 people died after earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. Survivors are searching for friends and family members without safe shelter, water, electricity, or heat. This is terrible. In Turkey President Erwan has been criticized for slow emergency response. In Syria. The ongoing conflict there has made it hard to get help. The UN has provided some aid but says more is needed. Ukraine sent emergency service members and Germany and Mexico sent rescue dogs who are helping find survivors in the rubble. There are ways you can help. By donating to local organizations in Syria and Turkey and through local Syrian and Turkish groups in your area. There's a link in our show notes to several charities making a difference. Talk to your grownups about pitching in. Let's do this.

And in animal news, since today is Valentine's Day a campaign in India is asking citizens to hug a cow. Cows are sacred in Hinduism, which is the majority of religion in India. The Indian government stated that cuddling a cow could bring people happiness and I tend to agree. And a tiny Pacific pocket mouse which weighs about three pennies was named the oldest mouse by Guinness World Records. Pat named Dr. Actor Patrick Stewart lives at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park and is nine years and 209 days old and still going. And zookeepers in England are doing a jig to celebrate the first dancing lemur born in Europe. Dancing lemurs are named after their particular way of moving. The critically endangered species of primates only live in the wild in Madagascar. And Chester Zoo's director said the baby boomer’s birth was a big moment in conservation.

And a man won a court case in Spain that allows him to walk around naked Alejandro column is dressed up for his hearing wearing a pair of hiking boots, and nothing else. But the court ruled he isn't disturbing the peace or harassing anyone by strolling around town in the nude.

First the balloon now, foreign objects have been shot down by the US military over Canadian and US airspace. The other three objects are being referred to as objects because the US military can't say for sure their balloons, lots of theories are being discussed. It could be that these objects will already be up in the sky and our sensors are now just picking them up as we test our radar. If these other objects are for surveillance, like the Chinese balloon shot down last week, you should know it's not unusual for countries to spy on each other. Even allies will update you as we learn more.

Bart is Google's answer to Microsoft's chat GPT an AI that started some big conversations. In a Google Ad, Bard answered a question about the James Webb telescope with the wrong answer and stock prices dropped in response
